What is a Cough?

Coughs are generally a sudden and often repetitively occurring reflex involving a release of air from the lungs. This reaction occurs to assist in clearing the large breathing passages from foreign matter, bodily secretions and microbes.

A cough is usually associated with the presence of a disease such as a respiratory tract infection but can be triggered by other factors such as smoking or air pollution. Common respiratory infections include:

Common colds or flu

Bronchitis – an inflammation of the bronchial tubes

Pneumonia – an inflammatory condition of the lungs, in particular the alveoli

Croup – an acute viral infection of the upper airway

Long term cigarette smoking may also damage the lungs’ natural system for clearing the airways of irritants and pollutants, resulting in an abnormal buildup of mucous. Emphysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis and cystic fibrosis are some chronic conditions that are characterized in part by a cough.

How can Salt Therapy help?

Salt Therapy has been clinically proven to assist with coughs by:

Clearing mucus from the airways

Having an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect in the respiratory system

Reduce bronchial hyper-responsiveness

Improve lung function

Assist in the removal of inhaled pollutants and allergen from the lungs and airways.

Here are some of the many benefits you could discover after Salt Therapy treatments:

Breathe easier after just a few sessions

Alleviated symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and shortness of breath

Reduced dosage of prescription medications, sometimes eliminate the need to take medications altogether

Reduced sensitivity to airborne triggers such as pollen and dust

Prolong remission times

Improved sense of wellness

Improve general health and quality of life

In clinical trials improvements were reported by 85% of the patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma, 75% with severe bronchial asthma, 98% with chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis after Salt Therapy. The patients were examined 6 and 12 months after the first Salt Therapy course.
